I am manipulating a style on elements with class="House" or "Senate."
Unfortunately, it sets the style for every child underneath.

The tree is like this:

AL
   House of Representatives
      Member
      Member
      Member
   Senate
      Member
      Member
      Member

House has class="House."  Senate has class="Senate."  This is just the
label next to a checkbox that either says "House of Representatives"
or "Senate."  I am using that label for a mouseover function, where
the label turns blue and is italicized for clicking.

Beneath this are all the Representatives or Senators, as children of
the previous element with class="House" or "Senate."

So, now, when I mouse over any of the children, they italicize as
well.

This occurs due to my command that says $(".House,.Senate").mouseover
(function().....

I need something to control only the top level, e.g. $
(".House,.Senate"(but not their children)....

Does anyone know the way to do this?
